beautiful and graceful than fashion can de-
wise. Mrs. Miller's theory, which is unmis-
takably correct, is that we should be clothed
in all respects as our natural structure de-
mands.
ON this princess or tea gown foundation a
woman can pile all the trimming she wants
to; but the wise onos don't want to spoil all
the lines with furnishings. For the street
Mrs Miller's gowns are extraordinarily short.
She tells how she was stared at in the parlors
~ % fashionable hotel by some women, who
said, one TO another: isn't her dress shortf'
On hearing this she answered pleasantly, ~Yes,
1t Is short, but it is comfortable, and never
uniiiy.r She recommends that ladies short
IN their skirts little by little until they at last
reach a degree Of brevity which shall enable
them to walk or perform any other work
with ease as men do.
Mrs. Miller is such a Juno in appearance,
that many a woman who would like to get
into comfortable apparel looks at her and signs
indespair, -Oh, that woman can wear any
thing and look lovely in it." But the lady
has designs for thin women, and fat women,
aud all shapes OF women.

HOW Homes Are Destroxed.

Thousands of farmers very year leave
pleasant homes in the older settled states
and make long and tedious pilgrimages to
newer states and territories, not driven to
it by necessity, but by a chronic restless
ness-an idea that it is possible somewhere
else to get on little faster in the world.
In nine cases out of ten the man would be
really better off to stay where he is, but
he is never satisfied until he has made at
least one or two decided changes. Homes
are destroyed in the most ruthless manner
in pursuit of this phantom of lettering
ones self-home s which can never really
be restored to the family, for home is
something more than the roof which shell
ters US. The associations of childhood,
the friends of early days, the memories of
the past, the ancestral graves upon the
hillside-are these nothing? 1t will take
more years than the most of US can afford
to give to build new home and get into
it the feeling with which we regard our
present one, be it ever so humble.-Hattie

ROADS AND STREETS AGAIN.

The Road Supervisor has taken some
action in the way of street work, as pris-
oners were employed shovelling black
sand from Government carts yester
day along Merchant and Fort streets
The covering was 50 light, however, as
to do very little good. In other words
the work was scamped. The street broth
was only thickened somewhat. What was
ShOvelled upon Fort street will be
washed away by the first shower, and
the wind will speedily dispose OF the
Merchant street addition to its mud
pools when dry weather sets in. Still
something was done-a beginning was
made, for which we suppose the taxpay-
ers should be thankful.
We cannot help saying, however, that
the way this work has been done dis
plays the utter incapacity or carelessness
of Mr.. Alapai. 1t would be compare
lively easy to make the streets passable
for a few months if the Road Supervisor
knew how, and it would cost very little
money. He need not go beyond the
streets themselves for nearly all the ma
terial to be used. Let him employ the
prisoners on any given line of street, and
clear out the cutters along each side,
throwing the stuff into the middle of the
road to form curved roadbed which
would drain off the rainfall to the gutter
on either side. Then top dress with
black sand and Use the steam roller.
The result would not be IA first-cass road,
but it would be a great deal better than
the present one in any given case.
This may be accomplished, as we have
already said, at comparatively little
cost. Prison labor is available; the
steam-roller belongs to the Government
so do the horses and mules to do the
hauling which are eating their heads off
in the Government yard. The only
thing that must he procured from dis
lance Is black sand, and that the Gov
eminent has of its own. If we cannot
have macadamized roads, which we adj
NIT is impossible at present, let us make
the best possible use of the means at
our disposal. We make these sugges-
tons as an aid to the authorities, and in
the hope that some practical and intelli-
gent man may be employed for time
ut least, to superintend work which it is
very evident the Road Supervisor does
not understand how to set about The
people would be easily satisfied now
but the attempt at street repairs which
was made yesterday falls very far short
of the mark

The Qualifications of Doctors.

People in large cities do not pay suffi
cient attention to the quail fications of doc
tors. If man be sick, the nearest physi-
clan is called That physician we fear,
from personal observation, sometimes
kills his patient, because the neighbor5
are naturally kept from exercising their
own common sense in the case. The doc
tor, having carried his course of treat
ment to its logical conclusion, pronounces
the patient beyond hope, and then only
another doctor, generally good one, is
called to attend the man in dying. This
latter doctor will say no word concerning
the previous treat men.
Now. why? Is the business of doctoring
merely an experiment. wherein it is I'M
safe to saw a quack or an empiric has
mistreated his man, and unsafe because
the learned doctor may do the same thing
tomorrow? There is in most folks de-
sire to put their own family physician on
their best friends. Probably this saves
MANY lives through holding of the be-
ginner in drugs. We would be pleased to
see a custom established that would make
it possible for a student doctor to accom-
PAW a physician of twenty years expert
ence in his rounds for about two years
An immense amount of money is paid to
doctors When doctor knows all there
is to be known, the money is well spent.
When the doctor is compelled to read MS
book at every case it is apt to be unlucky

Thirsty Cattle ON the Plains.

At about noon one of a group lifts his
head. If we could hear his remarks it
would probably be to this effect: "Come,
COWS, let's have a drink" For, as he
starts off, they all fall in and follow him
in single file down to water, precisely after
the fashion Of the buffaloes who formerly
occupied the ground. They remain at the
water for two or three hours, and then
march back in the same way, following
the same trail day after day, and wearing
a deep path in the soil, just like the OLD
buffalo trails. These paths are much
narrower than if made by human foot
prints. They seldom go farther than five
or six miles from the water in summer;
but in winter they spread out more, often
going without drink for two or three days,
and even eating snow instead Chi.

Not many years ago a great deal of
freight was carried along this route, many
trains of pack mules journeying egularly
between Patzcuaro and Acapulco-a dis
tance of 300 miles Most of the freight
now goes northward, and consists chiefly
Of the, cotton that grows in the state OF
Guerrero. IT is put up in bales, each
weighing $50 pounds, and two of them are
considered an ordinary load for mule to
carry all day upon his back. A "train" is
usually composed of forty or fifty mules,
accompanied by five or six men who act as
packers and cargadOrs-c carriers. The men
generally ride horses and are always
armed with knives and pistols of largest
size.
IN this section, where severe mountain
climbing alternates with dense forests
and desert sands, sixteen miles is consid-
cred a fair days Journey Besides cotton,
the cargadors frequently carry kegs of
rum or mescal, cases of wine and other
small wares On the return trip most of

In.the Y. M. G.. A. columns of the Feb
ruary number OF the "Friend" appears
the following:
For a long time some of our leading
members have felt deep and increasing
interest in the native young men in our
city This interest has often found ex-
preston in word, but recently it has found
a more tangible expression in action. AS
an military work in behalf of this import
ant class, the late Queen Emma resi-
dence" has been rented, and will be fitted
up as Y. NJ c. A. Branch for the Ha-
waiian young men of Honolulu and vi
entity The location is good, and the assO-
Citations connected with the place ought to
make it very popular resort for the Ha-
waiians. The preparatory work will soon
be undertaken to put in condition for use.
Last evening a special meeting OF the
Y. NJ. G. a. was held at the ball, with
quite a good attendance. Mr.. z.
G.. Jones read a report, which
stated that the Queen Emma res
idence had been engaged for six
months as an experiment. At the ex-
piration of that time, if successful, the
Y. NJ G. A. would take charge of it. 1t
would be used for preaching and gospel
meetings. The Trustees of the Queens
Hospital had been consulted, and they
would make all necessary alterations,
and would let the building after the six
months was up, for term of years at
rental of $50 per month. Enough money
has already been promised to pay the
rent for the six months and longer The
